**If You Have Ran The bitconnectCoin Wallet On Your Device:**
13+
14+
**1.** [Download the latest bootstrap files.](https://github.com/bitconnectCore/bitconnectCoin-blockchain-bootstrap/releases)
15+
16+
**2.** Find the downloaded bitconnect.zip file and double-click. This will unzip the file and show a folder named bitconnect.
17+
18+
**3.** Close and quit the bitconnectCoin wallet, (if it is running).
19+
20+
**4.** Navigate to your OS's respective data directory.
21+
22+
* For Windows: C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\Roaming\bitconnect\
23+
Or paste %appdata%\Roaming\bitconnect\ into the file explorer path field
24+
* For MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/bitconnect/
25+
Open Finder and in the program menu select Go > To Folder and enter the above path.
26+
* For Linux: ~/.bitconnect/
27+
28+
**5.** Remove all files and folders **except** for wallet.dat, bitconnect.conf (may not have this file).
29+
**Do not** delete the wallet.dat file as it contains the private keys for your funds. **Deleting this file will result in loss of funds!**
30+
31+
**6.** Inside the downloaded bitconnect folder there is **one** folder and **two** files. Move all **three** items into the bitconnectCoin wallet's data directory that you just removed files from.

33+
* **blk0001.dat** - DAT File
34+
* **bitconnect** - CONF File
